00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.400
This drill is follow through to finish. So many golfers start working on the

2
00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:09.320
system and doing a lot of 9 to 3s and they hit the ball great but then they

3
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:12.360
have a tough time taking into the course because they don't know how to finish

4
00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:12.640
or

5
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:16.600
go past this point. So in this drill we're going to talk about what happens

6
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:22.120
during between follow through and finish and then one way that you can kind of

7
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:27.700
do almost like a reverse pump practicing going from that 3 o'clock

8
00:00:27.700 --> 00:00:32.920
position all the way to the end of your swing. So let's discuss the two

9
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:36.560
different parts. So we got the body, we got the arms. The body is relatively

10
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:37.080
simple.

11
00:00:37.080 --> 00:00:43.260
It's going to continue its pivot. So I've got into that good bracing position.

12
00:00:43.260 --> 00:00:43.600
My

13
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:47.920
body is just going to continue turning towards the target roughly around my

14
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:53.120
spine angle kind of like this. So I'm basically going to continue going past

15
00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:57.560
that 3 o'clock position with just a little bit more body rotation and I can

16
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:01.740
start to come up out of my posture if I feel any strain in my lower you know my

17
00:01:01.740 --> 00:01:08.580
ankle knee hip or lower back. So facing you guys and get into that 3 o'clock

18
00:01:08.580 --> 00:01:14.140
position. I'm just going to continue rotating facing the target coming up out

19
00:01:14.140 --> 00:01:18.020
of it. That part's pretty easy. Now what do I do with my arms? I've gotten into

20
00:01:18.020 --> 00:01:25.460
this arm extension position right kind of like this. What should they do? Well

21
00:01:25.460 --> 00:01:28.660
let's talk about where they're going to end up or I'll let me show you where

22
00:01:28.660 --> 00:01:32.600
they're going to end up first and then we'll have an easier idea of connecting

23
00:01:32.600 --> 00:01:36.140
the two. The good news is it kind of mirrors what some of the things that we

24
00:01:36.140 --> 00:01:40.900
talk about in the backswing. So getting to that follow-through position I'm

25
00:01:40.900 --> 00:01:46.100
basically going to bend both arms but keep them relatively in front of my chest

26
00:01:46.100 --> 00:01:52.100
and I'm gonna let my arms rotate so that the club would basically be along my

27
00:01:52.100 --> 00:01:56.160
back kind of like this. This would be a little bit more of the full swing

28
00:01:56.160 --> 00:01:56.420
follow

29
00:01:56.420 --> 00:02:00.620
through where the wedge follow through this arm would work a little bit more

30
00:02:00.620 --> 00:02:06.260
across my body and the shaft would stay more vertical. If I add the club it'll

31
00:02:06.260 --> 00:02:11.110
look like this so if I get into the full swing follow-through I'm basically

32
00:02:11.110 --> 00:02:11.420
going

33
00:02:11.420 --> 00:02:18.980
to bend my arms and then rotate my forearms so that the club is roughly

34
00:02:18.980 --> 00:02:24.140
along my back or pointed kind of as close to parallel to my shoulders as I

35
00:02:24.140 --> 00:02:28.980
can. If it comes a little bit across my body that's fine but the goal is to

36
00:02:28.980 --> 00:02:28.980
keep

37
00:02:28.980 --> 00:02:34.820
those arms a little bit more in front of my chest. Now with the wedge or the

38
00:02:34.820 --> 00:02:39.670
shorter shots it'll be a little bit more like this where the arms work across

39
00:02:39.670 --> 00:02:39.980
and

40
00:02:39.980 --> 00:02:45.020
the shaft stays a little bit more vertical. So with the wedge that looks

41
00:02:45.020 --> 00:02:49.870
like this but the one you really want is the full swing. That's where most golf

42
00:02:49.870 --> 00:02:49.980
ers

43
00:02:49.980 --> 00:02:54.140
have trouble going from this three o'clock position so now I'm going to

44
00:02:54.140 --> 00:03:00.340
continue rotating keep those elbows in front and just let it fold and rotate.

45
00:03:00.340 --> 00:03:05.060
What I'll usually do is for golfers working on that movement I'll have them

46
00:03:05.060 --> 00:03:08.820
get to this position and then I'll stand here and block this arm and I'll

47
00:03:08.820 --> 00:03:15.540
basically throw their arms around that elbow so it'll basically finish kind of

48
00:03:15.540 --> 00:03:21.700
like this. Now what I recommend is doing some nine to threes and forcing that

49
00:03:21.700 --> 00:03:26.340
finish position and then do like a three-quarter swing where the finish

50
00:03:26.340 --> 00:03:30.060
position happens a little bit more organically and then do full swings

51
00:03:30.060 --> 00:03:34.420
where it goes there because of the speed of the release and the speed I've

52
00:03:34.420 --> 00:03:44.100
created in the club not because I'm forcing it. So we can walk through that

53
00:03:44.100 --> 00:03:54.110
progression I'm going to do a nine to three and then take that up to finish

54
00:03:54.110 --> 00:03:54.660
then

55
00:03:54.660 --> 00:04:02.740
I'm going to do a three-quarter where it goes through the three position up to

56
00:04:02.740 --> 00:04:14.060
that finish and then I'm going to do a full swing where I'm not going to force

57
00:04:14.060 --> 00:04:18.260
that finish position it's going to fly through the three o'clock position and

58
00:04:18.260 --> 00:04:33.780
get there because of the body speed. So now from the face on we'll do the

59
00:04:33.780 --> 00:04:40.860
three o'clock going to three and then forcing it up to that finish. So nine to

60
00:04:40.860 --> 00:04:45.940
three forcing it up to the finish with the arm staying a little bit more in

61
00:04:45.940 --> 00:04:51.820
front or the elbow staying in front then we'll do three-quarter and let it kind

62
00:04:51.820 --> 00:05:01.900
of glide through there and then we'll go to a full swing where now we're going

63
00:05:01.900 --> 00:05:01.980
to

64
00:05:01.980 --> 00:05:06.900
add kind of a full backswing pivot more body speed and try to feel the club

65
00:05:06.900 --> 00:05:22.300
really whip through there as opposed to being placed in that position. So

66
00:05:22.300 --> 00:05:25.820
hopefully this little progression will help you feel how you can take the club

67
00:05:25.820 --> 00:05:29.740
pass follow through if you're struggling making full swings when you go to the

68
00:05:29.740 --> 00:05:31.960
course.
